Risk factors of compliance with self-harm command hallucinations in individuals with affective and non-affective psychosis

Clinicians are often left with the difficult task of assessing and managing the risk of violent behaviors in individuals having command hallucinations, which may result in substantial rates of false positive or false negative.
